The Big Sleep (1946) & The Long Goodbye

In this episode, he and Dan explore the shadowy world of hard-boiled detectives, sharp dialogue, and morally cloudy endings.

In this episode, they discuss Clint Eastwood’s iconic gunslinger persona, Eli Wallach’s unforgettable performance as Tuco, and Ennio Morricone’s soaring score. They also explore the film’s sweeping scale, its operatic tension, and the quiet inevitability that leads three outlaws to one of the greatest final showdowns in movie history. Stay Conne...

Midnight Cowboy

James and Dan had never seen John Schlesinger’s Oscar-winning classic Midnight Cowboy, so they watched it together and recorded a podcast about it. In this episode, they explore Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight’s unforgettable performances, the film’s groundbreaking approach to taboo themes in late 1960s cinema, and its gritty portrayal of loneliness, friendship, and survival in a decaying New York. “I’m walkin’ here!” — and so are they. Throughout this discussion, we use terms like ‘male prosti...

James had never seen Park Chan Wook’s neo-noir masterpiece ‘Oldboy’, so he watched it with Dan and they recorded a podcast about it. As the most challenging film they’ve watched for the podcast, ‘Oldboy’ is as shocking now as it was on its initial release in 2003, but does the extreme nature of the movie’s plot secrets overshadow the overall greatness of Park Chan Wook’s work?

Mulholland Drive

Dan had never seen David Lynch’s surrealist masterpiece ‘Mulholland Drive’, so he watched it with James (who rates it in the top 10 of his favourite movies) and they recorded a podcast about it. It’s a mind-bending trip down the rabbit hole of Hollywood, but as 'Mulholland Drive' serves up a cinematic labyrinth of dreams and reality does Lynch's perplexing narrative keep us guessing or lead us only to confusion? In a change to our usual format, it’s James who has seen the movie before, wherea...

James had never seen Alfred Hitchcock’s masterpiece of suspense ‘Rear Window’, so he watched it with Dan and they recorded a podcast about it. As an example of pure entertainment cinema, ‘Rear Window’ is simultaneously a lesson in obsession and the dangers of voyeurism. So, whilst we enjoy the thrill of the suspense, how do we feel about becoming as voyeuristic as the film’s hero?

The Night of the Hunter

James was unaware of Charles Laughton’s masterpiece ‘The Night of the Hunter’, so he watched it with Dan and they recorded a podcast about it. As the only feature to be directed by Laughton, ‘The Night of the Hunter’ is a unique one-off experience that has become one of the most influential movies of all time, but is this mix of noir, horror and gothic fairy-tale still effective and is Robert Mitchum still terrifying? In this episode, we reference the following video of Charles Laughto...

James had never seen Bruce Robinson’s ‘Withnail & I’, so he watched it with Dan and they recorded a podcast about it. As the first feature for its two lead actors and its director, ‘Withnail & I’ has become one of the most quotable and rewatchable movies of all time, but are the careers of all those involved still defined by this seminal cult classic? In this episode we quote directly from the film, so there’s a small amount of swearing. Follow us on Twitter @talkinfilm, v...

'The Wicker Man' & 'Don't Look Now' Double Bill

In 1973 ‘Don’t Look Now’ and ‘The Wicker Man’ were released in the UK as a double feature, with the cult classic ‘The Wicker Man’ as the supporting picture to the main release of Nicolas Roeg’s ‘Don’t Look Now’. James (who’s 16) had never seen either of these horror classics before, so we watched them back-to-back (with a 15-minute intermission) and recorded a podcast about the experience. Why are there so many parallels between the two films and does watching them as a double bill impa...
